I will probably repeat the same question. I am fascinated by this matter and was not aware of the implications. In respect of somebody coming to Ireland with a diplomatic passport, would we recognise them as having some particular advantage, as Senator Ormonde has said? If someone who had a diplomatic passport ceased to hold that office for which the passport was used but continued to use the passport, are they in some way or other not acting within the law? I ask these questions to clarify the matter. I am impressed by the argument that Senator Alex White has made and believe it is worthy of consideration but it has raised a number of other questions.
